Muscles Rutledge gets the jinx
Welcome to this week's. S.
of the W. column. better
known as "who gets the jinx
this week?"
In keeping with this idea,
last week I received a note in
my suggestion box saying
"wouldn't a brick wall and a
firing squad be easier?" Oh
come now, I am not merciless
or anything. Just cruel and
unprincipled! Just ask Marty
Rutledge 5B, because he is
this week's victim.
There is an interesting
story about the manner in
which Marty came to CHSS.
In his first year, he spent two
weeks in --the Occupational
Course, before he realized he
was in the wrong course! As
Marty puts it "I thought I had
becdme an overnight
genius". So goes the story of
the spectacular climb to
Grade 13. (unbelievable as • it
must seem)

possibility of the student body
participating in a swim-a-
thon on the 15th of May: She
noted that the lack of par-

money for the school.

The horoscope readings
deal with - everything from
money problems to family
adventures to possible
misunderstandings with a
close friend or relative.
Many people follow their
horoscope regularly and
some even plan their daily
routine around what their
horoscope says. Other people
read their horoscope for
pleasure or just for the fun of
it and some ignore it
altogether.
